i agree with a speed increase, maybe even TS 83, something that caught my eye was his run with giovinco tonight, he won it, giovinco was "slower" but i think it might have been due to body balance difference, but IMO he deserves to have it as high as giovinco..

you're right! but i agree too to bump his TS and Condition

which run are we refering to with Giovinco? The one I'm thinking of was the one to the right corner flag in which case I think it has more to do with ACC rather than TS since it was over a short distance. But definately I think Santacroce won that encounter b'cos of BB rather than overall speed.

I gotta say...I watched him vs. Lazio playing as a defensive RB...and when he had to cover and went full speed...he was at least an 82 IMO. I think Dan's suggestions were good.

IMO this is a really hard player to rate because he has so much potential, but how much has been realized up to this point. I agree with Dan also about his Technique to 74. I feel these suggestions are likely minimums...and won't be surprised to see them even higher in the future.

I think it is good that his Response is higher than his Def. I feel his response is excellent, and can see it being even higher. What he lacks in size he makes up in speed & response

I upped ment by 2pts and TW by 3pts. I think he deserved an update in those areas seeing as its his 2nd season in serie a and he starts most games. he's got past the sophomore jinx, not many do. Did notice tech.

perhaps I should've consulted others, but I have reduced defence by 2pts and upped response. I find his positioning quite worrisome given Napoli play a 3-man defence. But his response is simply astounding given his age and I feel it compensates for his often-questionable off-the-ball positioning. I'd like to up it to 85, but better to be conservative about such stats than to overrate.

Also updated TW and mentality by 1pt. Looking to do a general update within the coming weeks (DS, SA, ST, SPA, LPA, etc.)
